"Popcorn is no substitute for fruit...
Fruits have other vitamins and mineral that popcorn does not contain."
Popcorn Has More Antioxidants Than Fruit, Study Says :
It's true: a new study shows that the snack contains more antioxidants than a single serving of fruit.
When University of Scranton researchers analyzed popcorn (by grinding it into a powder and adding some solvent to mimic digestion), they found that a single serving of popcorn had nearly 300 milligrams of polyphenols. Polyphenol, a plant-based chemical, is what fights free radicals in the body and helps fight against heart disease and other health problems. Popcorn packs a powerful punch. While popcorn is already known to be a good source of fiber, its other health benefits aren't as well known. Popcorn is also 100 percent whole grain, so it's a good option to reach for instead of chips or crackers. Plus, popcorn contains another antioxidant: ferulic acid, which fights against diseases like Alzheimer's.
Eat popcorn, plain kernels made on a stove top popper is best, without the added fixings.
